2:34 pm - I am proud to announce....
|
That on May 12 and 13 of 2008 at Eastern Kentucky University, a written committee of:
Dr. Chris Taylo
Dr. Ron Huch
Dr. David Coleman
Dr. Todd Hartch
Dr. Ron Weise
and an oral Committee of:
Dr. Coleman
Dr. Weise
Dr. Hartch
Have graded my 2 years course work and 2 days of intensive exams and bestowed upon me the degree of Masters in History.
The grading scale on my exams was as follows:
Fail
Below Average
Average
Above Average
I was awarded an overall "average" which seems bad, but it was the best feeling I have ever got from being called average in my life.
I was assessed as having an intelligence beyond my writing abilities which were below professional standards, and having a deep understanding of history and the profession, but lacking a working knowledge of several historical arguments by famous authors.
Or,
I'm smart, cant write as well as others, I know a whole lot, but cant remember important specifics from the books I have read over the last two years.
So, 2 extreme goods and 2 extreme bads which even out to... average :)
I am so tired, but so relieved. Now I just have one class to pass and I graduate on July 25th.

2:20 pm - Gluttons of Legends Present: Bangkok House (Lexington)
|
After a good time hanging with Andrew, Nick, Manrock, Naked James, and his latest fling, me and the two Lexington dwellers awoke for an intense desire for the cock- the Bangkok house. I have never tried Thai food, and after many assertions this was the best food in Lexington, my gluttony needed to be fulfilled.
After meeting two of Nick and Andrews buddies there, we began to chow down.
http://www.thaicuisine.com/r/3822.html
My two picks were tung tong (kinda like crab rangoon from a Chinese place) and Sweet and Sour Chicken. I may have lamed out on the second one as it may be something you can get at any Chinese place, but it had onions and peppers which I desired. I will go out on a limb more the next time I visit.
Price:
It seemed a little pricey at first. The Tung Tong was like 6 bucks. But, then I remembered how expensive Pekings here is Hazard is when you don't do the buffet. I was pleased. Overall: 9/10
Portion:
At first I was wishing there was more of both the Tung and the Platter, but after eating I had no desire to eat for 7 hours, or until I had done my oral exams and drove home to Hazard. Overall 9/10, Tung Tong 9/10, Sweet and Sour Chicken 9/10
Taste:
The Tung was amazing. Not as big as crab rangoon, or as good, but a welcomed change... loved the shell. Tung: 8.5/10
The Sweet and Sour Chicken rocked. Next time I wont get pineapple in it however.The sauce did have a weird aftertaste, but I was pleased. Chicken: 9/10
Overall: 8.75/10
Location:
I liked the local of the resturant itself. Parking in Lexington itself sucks almost anywhere so I cant complain there. I liked having to walk down the stairs and it being the only thing there.
9/10
Gluttony Fullfilled?
Indeeeeeeeeed! I want to go back and try more dishes, including one that Dr. Hartch suggested, and the super spicy thing Nick ate.
Overall 9/10.
And, as Andrew would point out... don't forget all the prestigious Thai awards this resturant has won!
current mood:  hungry

2:07 pm - Gluttons of Legends Present: Bananas in Richmond- Nachos Grande
|
After celebrating me doing my written exams for my Masters, myself, Nick Joooones, Andrew, and the Wiley Bussey went to Banana's in Richmond for a chow down. Nick wanted a greasy burger (but ended up with a delicious looking buffalo burger instead) which led to the choice of this eatery.
http://lexington.chowbaby.com/restaurants/RICHMOND/Bananas%20Bar%20&%20Grill
I should have went with my instincts and went GoL old school and got the Nacho Grande AND the "Big Mouth Burger," but alas I went for just the Nachos since I am a sucker for Mexican.
Price:
Banana's was compared to Applebees by Bussey, and it is a fair comparison. There prices were pretty good, except on the Nachos, which will get its due below. Overall: 8/10
Portion:
The steak Bussey ordered was huge. Nick's sammich was as well. Even my desert... cant remember the lame name? Was huge. My nachos? not so much. Overall 9/10, Nachos 5/10
Taste:
Was barely any meat or beans. The cheese looked like a carpet and it looked like it had been melted in a microwave and burnt. Nachos: 1/10
The brownie desert, however was the shit. It was tasty in every sense. 9/10
Location:
Kind of in a odd place, but I'm used to stuff in Richmond being on the other side of Wal Mart. Needed more parking. 7.5/10
Gluttony Fullfilled?
No. I desired Wang Zone before I even left the resturant. But I have to blame my poor choice in menu selection. I want to go back and try a burger. Overall 8/10.
current mood: hungry

Compatibility Meter
Love Compatibility of Capricorn with Sagittarius
On the surface, Goats and Archers may seem quite different. You're more serious and realistic. Sagittarius is enthusiastic, with an optimism that sometimes borders on denial. Archers are always on the go, in search of their next big adventure. They may fancy themselves explorers - but to you they're annoying restless. You do share some of the same basic philosophies on life though. And your Sagittarius can brighten up your days and nights. In return you'll give them solid ground to stand on and a solid foundation for a lasting relationship.
Love Compatibility of Sagittarius with Capricorn
The first thing you'll notice about a Capricorn is how serious and responsible they are. That alone may make you want to run for the hills. When you do hook up with a Goat, their practicality might get old fast. It may seem like your Capricorn is always raining on your parade. Who are they to tell you that your photography expedition to Kenya is too impractical? Work, schmork! Okay, so he or she is probably right, but that doesn't mean you want to hear it. You might be able to convince your Goat to come along, but you'll have to let them do the planning.

5:17 am - My 2008 year in review
|
Well, im 27 as of a couple of days ago, and though I am late to post this, here we go.
My usual year end tradition was sitting on yahoo with no one but Ryan Holliday on, talking about how big of a loser we are! Thankfully that was broken this year as I spent New Years at work. I was with my boys, who I enjoy greatly taking care of, and I was a little cranky being away from someone... but I was glad I was there with them as they have no family.
I did get a "wonderful" gift on New Years. I was stuck in the ditch just before the Animal Shelter sign coming back from Nona's. The snow had just piled on, and I was almost home when the guy in front of me locks them up. I tap my breaks to slow down and start sliding sideways. I try to stop it but cant, and start heading towards a big rock that would have totaled my truck.
Just before disaster strikes I hit a smaller rock, and trade a small dent in the plastic part of my bumper for an insurance claim. I will admit I got lucky, and am thankful for it. Right behind me was a state trooper who called the wrecker, and right behind him was the salt truck, whom I cussed. What I hated so much was spending two hours in the ditch, waiting on the tow.
But, my faith in humanity was restored somewhat, as fifteen, yes 15 different cars stopped to see if I was ok. Some of them with no hope of helping me besides the use of a cell phone. I felt good about it, but after awhile I was like "quit stopping I keep having to turn the heat on from having to roll my window down!!!" It was an amazing experience in that right, but the tow truck driver refusing to tow me home capped off the evening.
As for the year in review.
I have held the job I have the longest of any job I have ever had that requires 40 hours a week regular work. I really enjoy it but wish I had internet for my 3 am boredom!!! I like taking care of other people a lot better than I thought I would, as long as no asswiping is involved, which it isnt. With them adding life,health, and cancer insurance... I may stay there a long time.
My ladies' mom killed herself this summer, which at first put a large rock in between us. And then, one day she just became... well clingy is a word, but not the one id use. Now she calls me everyday, sometimes twice if I dont see her. She spends even more time with my parents. She is making a lot of 180s in her life, but her dad getting remarried, on my birthday, hasnt helped. Her health problems have resurfaced, mainly the possibility of a hysterectomy, which worries me a lot. I dont know what the future will bring...
School is great. I finish my history masters which will allow me to do jack shit more or less this coming year :)) I also start the mental health counseling program this spring. I am really excited about not having to drive 2 hours to go to class, and am looking forward to learning more about the field I work in.
I have also lost almost 40 pounds these last 4 months, which is great.
I regret not spending more time with my friends, and having to have to make hard choices.
This coming year my resolution is to loose even more weight, work hard in school, and maybe knock someone up :)) But seriously, I can see life getting much better for me soon.
current mood: cold

10:07 am - THE SHOCKMASSSSTER!
|
He tooted along as Tugboat. He caused disaster alongside Earthquake. He fell into history as The Shockmaster. Now, in a rare shoot interview, Fred Ottman joins ClubWWI.com to discuss it all.
Although Fred talks about every aspect of his career in his 40 minute ClubWWI uncut shoot interview, one subject he discusses is the one that most people still bring up - The Shockmaster. Set to debut as a massive foil for Big Van Vader, Fred was told his introduction would include breaking through the wall of "The Flair For The Gold" set during a WCW show. Unfortunately, it didn't quite work out that way as Ottman tripped, fell, and lost his mask as soon as the wall came down.
He tried to recover but it was impossible. WCW changed his gimmick and he soon became "Uncle Fred." Ottman told James Guttman the full story of that infamous moment in his ClubWWI.com interview. He explained the role his sparkly mask played in all of it as well as the reaction from people backstage after the segment ended. JG then asked what the original direction for the Shockmaster was prior to the fall. Fred answered:
"They were going to bring me in but it was going to be more of a comic book type character. You know what I'm saying? The costume and stuff like that was - around the same kind as when they did the Glacier gimmick. If you look back at when they stared doing the Glacier promos and that stuff. You know, it was really truly supposed to be like, I had a Mexican mask I would have worn. Just the whole outfit was pretty wild. I wore it maybe five or six times, seven times, something like that, you know. And then - whoosh - they morphed me into a Howdy Doody Uncle Fred character."

9:51 am - highlander- the source
|
Quite possibly top ten worst movies of all time.
Hey, I had my hopes, but this was a stinker.
Quick rundown, its almost the apocalypse, several immortals are looking for the "source" or some shiny thing that is the source of immortality. If you find it, something wild happens. You have to be a good soul to use the power, so everyone assumes its world peace.
So, Duncan McCloud and some other homies set off to find it. Too bad this thing called the "guardian" that moves at "goku speed" ( my own term) is out to get them before they get there.
The Bad:
Joe Dawson dies
There is no watchers
The pirate dude has no back story
The priest dude has no back story
There are immortals older than methos (premise change)
Everyone apparently forgot how to fight, and are almost whupped by normal thugs
The apocalypse crap
The guardian's goku speed
Duncan McCLoud has yet ANOTHER wife (premise change)
Ill save you two hours of misery.
Duncan gets the source because he has a pure heart, so it grants him a special power- he can have a baby. Yep. Thats it. He has a baby (with his wife) and no world peace, and in fact nothing really interesting happens.
Its worse than Highlander 2: the Forgotten suck.
Why did they make this movie? Well probably because Adrian Paul needed work. There I said it. Im sorry man. At least I was at work where I was PAID to watch this POS!

*Breaking News* Ric Flair quits World Wrestling Entertainment
Submitted by Luis Perez on Tuesday, September 4, 2007 at 11:14 PM EST
# Wade Keller is reporting that Ric Flair quit WWE earlier this week. Flair is frustrated with his push and lack of any encouraging communication from the front office.
Both sides have ongoing discussions to try and cool the situations down, with WWE hoping to talk him in to agreeing not to quit the company. The situation with Flair doesn’t appear to be related to the suspensions. This is a big blow to WWE, considering the lack of depth in the roster right now.
If the two sides don’t come to terms, Flair could sign a deal with TNA for the two-hour launch. TNA is well aware of the situation and interested in signing Flair.
We will keep you updated as information is released.
# Wrestling Unleashed - Coverage Of Flair Quitting and More WWE News!
Good, now come to Hazard and get a job delivering pizzas, so I can NOT tip you!

10:59 am - Last week as a free man. . .
|
This has been an interesting week.
On one hand I have had a blast hanging out with Tonya and her family. Everyone is so tore up still, but at the same time everyone is helping each other and spending time together... with a few exceptions. I wanted to take her granny out on a date :) But she was so sick... next week I will... she needs some time out of the house.
And then on the other hand I might have to settle a matter with a stalker :)) Its just funny, I really dont want trouble at a time like this, but some people cant learn.
Last night was really fun as Tonya got blowed out :) Well, sorta :P We did have to pack her in the house haha!!!!
I had so much on my mind last night I didnt sleep a wink... and im not a bit tired. Nona had a 7 am hospital visit this morning from not letting me cut the grass by myself (har har) and I may go see her before work... if she is awake :)) I dunno, everything just seems so perfect in a lot of ways.
I start school Monday so now im gonna be worked to death again. I can handle it, except I want to be there for my friends and family.
I missed Unknown last night but Nick said it was an awesome show at the Dane... but I did see a hot girl at crapplebees that I almost had to hit on :) Maybe when I loose some of this weight!
Im rambling but life is good in so many ways right now, but there is still a lot of pain for many...

10:58 pm - Brotime Tales of Yore- The Legend of the Ogre/ Poncho Powerbomb
|
Brotime Tales of Yore- The Legend of the Ogre/ Poncho Powerbomb Gather round practitioners of the vile art of brotime, and hear one of ye most famous legends! This legend is important because of its Jew leading hero, the scraggly Poncho, who overcomes great odds and lifts the beast of Acup, Ogre, over his head and throws him onto the ground, at 14% interest.
The event takes place many eons ago in the clearing above Andrew Engle's house, at a vile brotime party. I intend to look at this event from a scholarly aspect, as that is my life. This event has been claimed by some, such as Pudge, to have happened, but Ogre himself denies it... several others have no recollection of the event. So, here is the legend of the Ogre/ Poncho Power bomb!
First lets look at the first hand accounts. Here is what Ogre, the alleged victim had to say:
Jeff Bob: tell me about poncho powerbombing u
enemy_of_the_sun213: nuttin to telll
Jeff Bob: now now
Jeff Bob: legend has it
Jeff Bob: he owned u
Jeff Bob: and put the kevin nash powerbomb on u
enemy_of_the_sun213: whatever
Jeff Bob: tell me abou tit
Jeff Bob: ive heard u powerbombed him too
enemy_of_the_sun213: well first you think he could pick my fatass up to powerbomb me ???
Jeff Bob: haha
Jeff Bob: thats not the point
enemy_of_the_sun213: yes it is
Indeed Ogre raises a good point. Ogre is a manly man of much girth. Poncho is a girly man of little strength... could he really lift Ogre over his head and finish him off much like so many Undertakers?
Here is what Poncho had to say on the matter:
Jeff Bob: so
Jeff Bob: tell me about the ogre/poncho powerbomb
ponchononymous: i powerbombed ogre.
ponchononymous: the end.
Jeff Bob: no
Jeff Bob: tell me more
ponchononymous: thats it
Jeff Bob: i wish to stuidy this incident, from a scholorly aspect
ponchononymous: i powerbombed ogre.
ponchononymous: end of story.
ponchononymous: well see
ponchononymous: first
ponchononymous: i punched him in the solar plexus
Jeff Bob: mmm huh
ponchononymous: and when he buckled , writhing in pain
ponchononymous: i pushed the back of his head down and grasped it in the knook of my crotch
ponchononymous: i then pulled his arms upward behind his own back
ponchononymous: and firmly grasped his sides
ponchononymous: then i lifted the mighty beast over my head
ponchononymous: in such a manner that for a brief time
ponchononymous: his crotch was in rather unpleasant close proximity to my face
Jeff Bob: this is soundin more like a Jerry Lynn style powerbomb than say... a Kevin Nash release powerbomb or a Liger Tiger Bomb
ponchononymous: and then i returned him to the ground where he came from
ponchononymous: only this time
ponchononymous: on his back
Jeff Bob: and where was this at
ponchononymous: in a spine crushing downward force
ponchononymous: atop the strip job above andrew's house
Jeff Bob: indeed
ponchononymous: well
ponchononymous: clearing
ponchononymous: not a strip job
Jeff Bob: who will corroborate ethis
ponchononymous: it seems
ponchononymous: somehow
ponchononymous: that noone witnessed it
ponchononymous: i dont understand how
ponchononymous: who could miss that
Jeff Bob: what about the people who said HE powerbombed YOU
ponchononymous: but i gotta shower
Jeff Bob: .............
ponchononymous: i dunno maybe some form of dyslexia
Jeff Bob: indeed
ponchononymous: i'm sure there's an explanation
... It seems that Poncho's explanation, as well as his shady Jewish past puts alot of weight on the side of Ogre. No physical examination of the clearing would provide clues at this point, as there is no Ogre shaped hole on the premises. And, with Only Pudge to back up Poncho's story... I have to call this myth... BUSTED.

10:48 pm - Gluttons of Legends Present: The Baconator
|
This will kill me. This sandwich is far too good, and far to bad for me. 860 calories 460 from fat. 2 beef patties, 6 slices of bacon. Check out this link.
http://www.wendys.com/food/Nutrition.jsp
This sandwich replaced the best value menu item ever at Wendy's.. the #4 or the big bacon classic. Doing so it sealed my doom. Even though the sandwich alone is nearly 5 bucks at a fast food place... I am gona get drunk/high/depressed from Nona and just go eat 6 of these one day and die. And not die sad mind you. As Nick Jones said, ill just say "GOODBYE WONDERFUL WORLD, BECAUSE ONLY A WONDERFUL WORLD LIKE THIS COULD HAVE A BURGER SO GOOD!" and eat 6 and just die. Right there, having a food orgasm. Yes, I just said that.
The fries still stink however.
Price:
Its a fast food burger at a casual eatery price. It still owns, and is the best burger out there, period. Too bad I dont have "affects on your health" as a category, because thats the only thing that would get a poor rating. 9.5 out of 10.
Portion:
The funny thing was the Wendys out by the old wal mart used smaller patties and buns, like off the dollar menu which stunk. Out by Big Lots the burger was HUGE! 9/10
Taste:
/Orgasm 10/10
Location:
Both places stink, but the service is fast. 8/10
Gluttony Fullfilled?
Yes and no. I will die, from this sandwich, Wait and see. Overall 9/10.
Please god, give me the strength to stay away from this burger I want to loose weight. And thats no sarcasm, this think is a artery clogger.

10:30 pm - Gluttons of Legends Present: Carne Azade from El Azuls
|
After another long day of work, gluttons Nick Jones and I went to El Azuls to shake things up.
I wanted to compare El Azuls and La Penas various dishes, so I got the closest thing to my favorite La Penas dish, the burrito steak supreme, the Carne Azada. And I know im butchering that spelling.
The free chips were burnt more than La Penas, and the dip wasnt as good, it was too runny.
We also got an order of chacken wangs, and they were REALLY good. I cant compare them to La Penas, but they were super good.
The carne azade was good too, but the steak looked like the cheap steak from save a lot. It was HUGE though. The cheese sauce that I got on the side was much better than La Penas, and I used it to its full potential. Afterwards I had a fried ice cream. It had cinnamon in it, so if nothing else you could kill Bussey with it. It wasn't that good though.
Price:
More expensive that La Penas at 10.49, but more steak. Too bad it was skanky cubed steak, but still real good. Just not 10 bucks good. The wangs were awesome, not as good as the bulls or as many but super good for 5 bucks. 6/10
Service and location:
I hate that shopping center and the way getting in their. Plus there is no parking at all hardly, and the place is too bright. There didnt seem to be many people working either and I got maybe 2 refills. 5/10
Taste:
Overall really good except the chips. 7.5/10
Gluttony Fullfilled?
I wanted more, so no. But on a normal day that would kill 5 men. I ate a LOT.
I give this meal a 7/10.
ANd for the record:
Chips and Dip: La Penas
Cheese Sauce: El Azuls
Steak dish: La Penas
Fried Ice Cream: La Penas
Service and Location: La Penas
Props to being able to take Bussey to dinner and kill him though, someday may need that ya know!

10:01 pm - Gluttons of Legends Present: The Bull
|
The latest craze in eating in Hazard is the Bull. Its a steal/wangs place down by save a lot in the old El Azuls place. There is no web link as of right now that I can find.
Me and fellow glutton Nick Jones decided to stop in after he had ate there the night before and we had just completed a long day of water sampling.
Mr. Jones had promised the best Philly cheese steak in Hazard, except perhaps the Philly from the HCC cafeteria which I haven't had the experience of trying yet either.
The Bull was decorated with several red neckish things, such as the fenders from several local open wheel racers, but my cousin Benny Feltner was not one of them.
Indiana Jones was on the TV (which some idiots on the hazard message board complained about! Um, its a resturant just don't watch it!) and there were several movie posters on the wall, one of which was Days of Thunder... The ONLY bad movie Tom Cruise has ever made and which knocks the Bull's overall rating down a notch.
The seating was cramped as the tables were too close together. We did not sample the bar, so I can't rate that at this time. The service was pretty fast, but she was sorta trashy. Waitresses should have to cover tattoos, especially if they have 3 dozen. I mean... I have 1 tattoo and my lady has like 13, but not all over where we can see um and were not in a service occupation.
For appetizers we ordered some Mild hot wings. The sauce was good, but we got like 9 wangs. It was awesome. I could make a normal meal out of just those, and they were just like 6.99.
Next I got the Philly with mashed taters and French fries. One of the best things about the bull is you get 2 sides and all of their burgers are 5.99 except the buffalo burger, which Nick tried.
The fries were the BOMB, and the mash potatoes were as well. Not Poncho's momma good, but awesome. As for the Philly.... I swear to whatever higher power that there was crack in that thing. It was WAAAAY to spicy in the middle, and the two ends didn't have any spice. It wasnt good at all, even Nick agreed that his from the day before was much better, but I couldn't stop! I almost ordered another! All I could think about when I left was going back for more wangs and a philly!!! I promise this place is using crack in their food.
We also got an order of rolls that was not free, and in fact was 1.25... for 3 of the hardest, undercooked nastiness ever. That will hurt the bull here in a few, along with Days of Thunder.
Price:
A true example of tipping both sides of the scale. The wangs were awesome for 6.99. The philly and 2 sides blows applebees away. A guy on the Hazard message board said it was too expensive, and it is if your used to the Mickie D's dollar menu. But besides the rolls and lack of a free appetizer the bull is very nicely priced for a semi formal dining place. Even the buffalo burger at 10 bucks was a good deal. 6/10 just because of the rolls, seriously that makes me mad.
Service and location:
The waitress was very busy but still got me water almost on call. The place is located in a bad area with poor parking, and the tables are too close together. But, the owners come and talked to people and thats nice, so 6.5/10.
Taste:
For just having a 1 page front and back menu the Bull had a lot of tasty things. I am DYING for more wangs, and really want to give the philly a second chance. 7/10
Gluttony fullfilled?
I swear this place uses crack, I was full as could be but wanted more Philly. So, yes! Overall, 6.5/10 for the Days poster and the cramped setting, but I want a second review.

9:41 pm - Gluttons of Legends Present: The Nick Jones Fourth of July Cookout
|
This entry is coming a little late but the 4 th of July cookout we had at Nick Jones' needs to be examined for it's gluttonous fury.
We had several dishes... bar b que chacken, hot dawgs, hamburgers, baked beans, tater salad and other various cook out necessitates.
I gluttoned and several pieces of chicken, 2 hamburgers, 2 hot dogs, lots of tater salad, and baked beans. Naked J let me down by not showing his eating prowess, but it was good to see several old faces even though we didn't blow anything up later.
Price:
Well I chipped in, so I can have some say. For the amount of food we got, Food City hooked us up pretty well. 8/10
Taste:
Nicks mom and dad rock the hizzy. Some of the best grilled stuff ive ever had. 9/10,
Portions:
Excellent portions and so much good could have went back several times, and I did!
Gluttony fulfilled?
Yes! I could have ate a little more but I was stuffed. Please feel free to add comments on what was there, who was there, and what we had... there was so much stuff I cant remember. Overall I give the night a 8.5/10. We needed to blow stuff up... bad.

9:28 pm - Gluttons of Legends Present: Papa Burger from A&W/ Long John Silvers
|
Awhile back there was a marketing campaign for the "Papa Burger" from A&W... which in Richmond is also in the Long John Silver's, which happens to be one of my hangouts. So, for 2.99 I decided to chow down. Here is the web link to this niceness.
http://www.awrestaurants.com/news/deluxe.htm
The 2.99 was a price break from the normal price of the burger, but for 2.99 this burger is AWESOME. It is SORTA like a big mac, sorta like a Hardy's six dollar burger. But the bottom line was I got two and they both rocked my socks. They are a LITTLE small, but for 2.99 I consider them to be a great value.
Price:
$2.99 is the perfect price on this burger, the normal was 3.99 I think, which is too much. For 2.99 this burger is the best burger, hands down, for under 4 dollars, other than the mythical McDonaldss double cheeseburger. 9/10
Taste:
What can I say. for the price I havent found better, I just wish it was larger so one would do the job. 8/10
Service:
The google eyed chic that works at the Richmond Long John's always freaks me out, but she always trys to flirt, and the extra food helps out the me coming back bit. They are a tad slow, but that is the norm when dealing with seafood. 7.5/10
Gluttony Fulfilled? Sort of... is would take almost 3 of these and some fries to settle me down, which means a 10 dollar meal... that brings the overall down to 6.5/10.
I do suggest this burger to smaller men and women who arent gluttons and like a good burger.
